FINE FEATHERS MAKE FINE BIRDS 



^ Nowhere is this proverb more true than in the case of the ouled nails, for they enhance 

 their somewhat scanty natural charms by carefully adorning themselves to the utmost. They 

 affect the gayest of colors and a profusion of jewels; they mix their hair with wool and 

 plaster it with grease, forming great braids, which they loop down over their ears, framing 

 their faces, as it were, in ebony.
